Writing about a protest on Guest Street against a Koch brother's sitting on the board of WGBH, Howie Carr recalls his own experience with the station. (Brattle Street runs into Harvard Square.)
To those moonbats who were out on Guest Street yesterday — including the one dressed in an Elmo costume — David Koch is not a political foe, he’s an apostate, a heretic.
So they have declared a fatwah against him.
Let’s face it, they’d like to burn Koch at the stake, except they’re worried about the carbon footprint it would leave.
“His point of view is a lie,” said one no-nonsense granny from the People’s Republic of Brookline.
Koch has a different viewpoint. Ergo, he lies. See, what these fruitcakes believe is that global warming, er climate change, is “settled science.”
Full disclosure: David Koch and I went to the same prep school. On the other hand, he’s worth $36 billion, and I’m not. But we’ve both had our problems at WGBH. The moonbats want to fire him from the board, and they once succeeded in getting me fired from Ch. 2 for the same crime he’s accused of, insufficient Political Correctness.
The Brattle Street brass were holding firm to keep me on the old Ten O’Clock News, right up until the Sunday Globe ran a column suggesting a boycott by all Ch. 2 contributors until I was axed. So you don’t have to tell me about celebrating diversity.
My eyebrows are still singed from when the bow-tied bumkissers tied me to the stake.
